Welsh Day - March 5th







Welsh Day proved very popular with David and Pat Rye giving a fascinating talk on the Welsh Costume. Pat went through several changes of costume (looking immaculate thoughout) while David explained all in great detail. It was all hugely enjoyable.
52 people visited over the course of the morning and were able to enjoy also an exhibition of Welsh costume and prints. Thankyou to David and Pat Rye, who brought along their own collection, Judy and John StJohn Stimpson and Mark Thomas of PCC Museum's Service (Scolton Manor) for the prints and costume exhibits.
Our hospitality this time extended to lunch - leek and potato soup made by Pauline went down well as did the Welsh cakes and bara brith. Thankyou to everyone who contributed.
